Steve Fogarty is father to the four best boys ever, and husband to a much better woman than he deserves, Chris Fogarty.

What makes FogartyFOTO different from other family portrait photographers? Lighting!

FogartyFOTO portraits are consistently more crisp, beautiful and WOW because they are always carefully lit, regardless of the location or time of day.

While many beginning "available light" photographers get very nice (if flat) light on cloudy days and in the shade, FogartyFOTO is able to create your family's large environmental wall portrait any time and any day because we bring portable studio lighting with us to one of our many spectacular locations, or to your family's favorite place.

If your family can only get together during the hard light of a cloudless morning, FogartyFOTO artfully and expertly complement that light to create a timeless, unforgettable heirloom portrait that only becomes more valuable with every passing moment. And if your family can only get together at night, or on a rainy day, FogartyFOTO will create a gorgeous portrait of your beautiful family in our full studio.

Chris Fogarty is the cheery voice and pretty face of FogartyFOTO, the one who answers your phone call and your questions, sets up your appointment, and generally makes sure everything about your FogartyFOTO experience runs smoothly and beyond your expectations. While her first job is as mother to our four rambunctious boys, a job in which she excels, Chris also excels in her commitment to your satisfaction as a FogartyFOTO client.

Steve Fogarty is your principal photographer.
